Douglas Harper's Etymology Dictionary
1620s, auf, oph (modern form from 1630s), "a changeling; a foolish child left by the fairies" [Johnson], from a Scandinavian source such as Norwegian alfr "silly person," in Old Norse "elf" (see elf). Hence, "a misbegotten, deformed idiot." Until recently, some dictionaries still gave the plural as oaves.
Wiktionary
n. 1 (context obsolete English) An elf's child; a changeling left by fairies or goblins, hence, a deformed or foolish child. 2 (context pejorative English) A person, especially a large male, who is clumsy or a simpleton; an idiot.
